Jonte Buhl is a high school All-American out
of Pflugerville, Texas, and he is expected to line
up at cornerback. Dawon Gentry, defensive back
for the Aggies, was an All-American running back
at Denison High in Denison. Fellow defensive
back Keelan Jackson was a two-time All-District
safety from Garland High.
Slocum said Adam Black, of Houston, is a sol
id guy who could have played anywhere in the
country, but committed early to A&M.
Two other defensive back additions are grad
uates of La Marque High. Kevin Magnum earned
All-District honors last year, while Mike Pinesette
spent the last two years playing at Blinn College.
Cassidy said the receiver position needs help
and junior-college transfer Robert Ferguson may
be able to step right in.
Slocum said A&M was interested in Ferguson
out of high school, but he was unable to meet aca
demic requirements.
"Robert was outstanding out of high school but
didn't meet the qualifications. He went to Tyler Ju
nior College and can now fulfill his dream of play
ing at Texas A&M University," Slocum said.

The Battalion
Texas A&M sophomore Bernard
King was named to the Big 12 Con
ference's 12-member basketball
team which will compete in Europe.
The 2000 Big 12 Freshman of
the Year, King will join players
from each of the 12 schools in the
conference.
King started all 28 games his
freshman year and was the only
freshman to average more than 15
points (16.9), four rebounds (4.8)
and four assists (4.1) per game. Ad
ditionally, King enters the 2000-01
season as the league's top scorer.
King is a two-time Big 12 Rookie
of the Week and a member of the
league's All-Freshmen team. King
broke conference records for fresh
men in scoring average, total points
(474), three-pointers per game (2.82)
and points in a game (34).
When asked if he is excited about
traveling overseas. King replied,
"I've never been out of the United
States before. I just want to go there
and beat them."
A&M basketball coach Melvin
Watkins praised King's perfor
mance last season.
"King is a very talented young
man," Watkins said. "I think that to
be competitive in the Big 12 you
must get players of his caliber."

Website
sells A&M
playbooks
Mark Pass wafers
The Battalion
Sportsplaybooks.com, a Web
site started by three Austin high
school coaches — ostensibly for
other high school coaches and
players — has been selling the
playbooks of several major foot
ball programs, including Texas
A&M, the University of Texas,
Auburn University and the Uni
versity of Arkansas. For $9.95,
anyone could purchase a copy of
the teams' playbooks.
Athletic officials in College
Station, Austin, Auburn and
Fayettefille attempted to down
play the impact of the website.
"It's not something that we'd
want out there, but we weren't
getting into a panic," said Tim
Cassidy, A&M's associate athlet
ic director for football opera
tions, noting that the site came to
A&M's attention last month after
it was advertised in USA Today.
Athletic officials have no idea
how the playbooks came into the
hands of Sportsplaybooks.com
and have no suspects. The site
was shut down — at least tem
porarily — after lawyers repre
senting A&M threatened a law
suit, claiming the playbooks were
the property of the University.
However, the message on the
company's Website states that
"We will try and resolve any is
sues so we can be up and running
again sometime this summer."
